197 Buy European and American oil paintings and collect them(2/2)
The reason is easy to find. If the tits peck the knees of these horses, they will be injured and unable to run.
Then he said that he had observed before the race that the horse might have a knee problem.
It’s just that I have no grievances against the horse owner, so it’s unreasonable to harm someone else’s beloved horse.
"By the way, who is the owner of horse No. 4?"
How did Norton know this? Fortunately, his bodyguard was quite competent. Seeing Norton looking at him, he hurriedly said, "Looking at the introduction, it should be an Arabian horse that just came of age at Mr. He Wenli's own horse farm last month."
Chu Xiangqian said "thank you" and gave up his previous idea.
The He family can now be considered their own customers. They first bought a tiger skin for 10,000 yuan, and then bought a whole sika deer for 4,500 yuan.
There is no need to harm other people’s beloved horses
And if you think about it carefully, you can win by buying this horse, and then how many positions can you win by buying this horse.
Normally speaking, it is normal to win half and one position.
But if you win a few, 10 positions, the probability is even smaller than the probability of winning in a row.
It's just that Chu Xiangqian doesn't know if there is such a way to play.
Calling the butler in the VIP room, Chu Xiangqian told the story. The butler asked in surprise, "SIR, are you sure you want to beat the No. 4 horse to win alone, and beat the second place by more than three lengths?"
Chu nodded forward, "Tell me if you can play like this and what are the odds?"
The housekeeper nodded quickly, exited the balcony, picked up the phone and made a call.
Two minutes later, he came back and said, "SIR, because horse No. 4 is the favorite, we can accept this bet. The odds are 1 to 2. That is, if you win the bet, we will pay you 2 yuan with the profit."
Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but curl his lips, thinking that if he wins 5 positions alone, but thinking about it, this is a bit too much, and it is really inconsistent with common sense.
He reached into his inner pocket of his suit, actually took out 10,000 yuan from his storage compartment, threw it to the butler, and said, "Horse No. 4 won three positions alone."
The butler took it in a panic and glanced at Norton, who immediately gave him a sharp look.
Then I honestly took the money and placed the order.
Norton then asked Chu Qianqian, "Master, did you see anything?"
Chu glanced at Norton forward and said with a smile, "If you have enough pocket money, buy some to play with. If you lose, I'll treat you to roast venison.
If we win, how about you treat me to steak and do me a small favor?"
Norton thought for a moment and took out a few 20-pound notes from his pocket.
After counting, he took out 100 pounds and gave it to his bodyguard to place bets.
100 pounds is equivalent to 1,600 Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed pocket money for Norton.
Ten minutes later, the first race was about to start. Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but look happy when he saw the pre-race predictions of second place and third place on track 8 and 9.
At the beginning of the race, 14 horses rushed out of the starting point, and the tits suddenly fell from the sky and crossed over the tracks 8, 9, and 10. The horses on the three tracks were immediately startled and subconsciously stopped their explosive power.
Suddenly he was half a beat slower than other racehorses.
When horse No. 4 crossed the finish line first, it was a full 4 positions ahead of the second horse.
The scene was filled with cheers.
Although most people's odds of winning if they buy No. 4 are only 1.3 to 1, so they don't make much money, but running 4 positions is really exciting.
Norton jumped up with the audience.
Then I saw Chu Qianqian’s calm look, and I couldn’t help but admire him even more.
After Chu Xiangqian waited for the Jockey Club to send him a check of 20,000, he said to Norton, who also received the money, "I like Chinese antiques. How about helping me purchase a batch of antiques from England and Europe?"
?"
After saying that, he placed the check of 20,000 Hong Kong dollars in front of Norton.
This kind of thing is actually very simple for Norton.
He took the check and promised, "Master, give me three days, and I promise to airlift a batch of Chinese antiques to you."
Chu Qianqian smiled and thanked him, but in his heart he thought that these treasures had been snatched away. A burst of anger suddenly emerged.
Fortunately, I calmed down again after a while. Something had already happened. While keeping the shame in mind, there was no point in making myself angry.
It is better to take advantage of the fact that Chinese antiques are still at low prices in Europe and the United States, and cannot even be sold at high prices, to get more of them and bring them back.
Then I thought that there were many works by European and American painters at this time, and the prices were also very low.
I keep buying them back and will hold a private museum exhibition of European and American oil paintings in China in the future. Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved.
